Re: Fluoride Ques

Fluoride--The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in its 1997 policy statement that babies younger than six months should NOT receive fluoride supplements and that babies older than six months receive supplements only if they live in an area where the drinking water contains less than 0.3 ppm of fluoride. Fluoride supplements tend to contribute to excess intestinal gas (wind).

Re: Fluoride Ques

DS's pediatrician OK'd - and actually pushed for - DS (now 12 mo) to move from bottled water to tap (with fluoride in it) at 9 months, for whatever that's worth!
We will see a pediatric dentist sometime in the next 4-6 months but I would not agree to a fluoride treatment at this age, certainly.
